"After a challenging Q1 faced with GST apprehensions resulting in substantial wholesale destocking, in the second quarter, we have recovered significantly," Emami Director Mohan Goenka said.

"Post GST, the wholesale channels are yet to recover completely from the impact, which we expect to improve in the second half of the year. International business is also back on track riding on the base effect of last year's performance. The SAARC regions and Africa did particularly well," he added.
